Mary is an amazing matchmaker!

Five years ago, I went on a pilgrimage to Medjurgorje (in Bosnia Herzegovina), where I wrote a short letter to the Virgin Mary. In it I told her that I really wanted to get married, and that I would like "Our Lady of Medjugorje," who calls herself "the Queen of Peace," to find me a husband.

A few years later, my best friend went to Medjugorje. On her return, the group organized a Rosary group in a local park. She kept inviting me to go, but I declined the invitation several times. Eventually I went, and it was there, while praying to "Our Lady of Medjugorje"—the Queen of Peace—that I met John, who is my husband today! We are the happy parents of a little boy called Karol (named after Saint John Paul II).

I believe Mary visits Medjugorje especially for families. After all, all the visionaries are married! She is an amazing matchmaker!
